We like to put some music on, get the wine (well that's just me!) out and play cards x

We usually out on some music, relax and enjoy some wine, its as good as anything for us

Definitely keep the tv off, play music instead. TV just kills any conversation so don't bother with DVD's etc, you want to communicate, otherwise what's the point?

Try having a cocktail night, we like to make a batch of margaritas because they remind us of a long-ago holiday in Greece. Get some nice food in, anything that's not fish fingers, baked beans or kiddy-friendly!

Talking of holidays, looking at old photos is always a good one, especially if you've got any of your early years together. It's nice to reminisce!

I'm not sure that DIY projects are a great date-night topic, it wouldn't put me in the mood, we'd just end up arguing about money and what colour we want to decorate the bedroom (he wants purple, which makes me feel sick, I want blue, like the rest of the house!)

If you can afford it, get a small pressie, it makes a date night feel really special. Not a s e x toy though...too much pressure! :rotfl::rotfl:

We have a rare child-free weekend coming up, we're planning to bring the spare TV up to the bedroom, buy a box set of a series we both love and take to our bed with a bottle of something and a bowl of peanuts to watch it from start to finish.

It's hard to tell at the moment :rotfl:

Read to each other.

Each select a book you enjoy (or think you will enjoy) and ask the other to read a section each night. maybe 10 miinutes each way, maybe more. It does not matter that you have different tastes.

Cuddle up while you do it. You may be surprised at how loving it feels.

On the DVD front, accept differences, and take turns watch a film that the other enjoys.

We've decided that we ought to spend more quality time together as a couple, as when the kids go to bed, we do our own things and often crash out in front of the tv exhausted.
So we were talking about it and thought we'll have a go tonight, so the discussion turned to what will we do....... ummm, some sort of board game? Ummm

We do chat alot to each other, but I'd like to know what you do on your special nights together? Ideas please!
Clean stuff, or the thread will be deleted. You can pm me any naughty ideas :rotfl:

Something tells me this will be a short thread and your pm inbox will be full to bursting!

Hmmmmmm something to do together indoors that is clean stuff only. I will have to think hard about this and get back to you
